Abstract

For the structure of finite-layer orthorhombic crystals, the forward problem of optical polarization transmission is investigated. By establishing a matrix model for layered transmission, the polarization data of laser propagation is numerically solved for a given molecular dielectric tensor. The influence law of incident angle variations on the polarization data is systematically analyzed, with a particular focus on the dependence of the polarization data of transmitted light on the number of liquid crystal layers. Numerical results indicate that when the layering reaches a certain level of refinement, the solution converges, enabling the model to accurately replicate the propagation behavior of light in a continuous medium, thereby precisely characterizing the modulation effect of the internal structure of the liquid crystal on the polarization of transmitted light. Additionally, the influence of the dielectric tensor of a homogeneous medium on the polarization data is analyzed.
